Cristiano Ronaldo deserves Ballon d’Or now more than ever – Super agent, Jorge Mendes

Cristiano Ronaldo deserves to win the Ballon d’Or this year more than ever before, according to his agent, Jorge Mendes.

Ronaldo has been nominated along the likes of Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski and Jorginho to win the prestigious award.

If he wins it, it will be the sixth time in his career and Mendes (who manages Jose Mourinho, Di Maria, Moutinho, Falcao and a host of top stars) feels he has done more than enough to win it despite winning only the Coppa Italia last season.
